Gwyllion, F1 was at Fuji in 2007 and 2008. If that speed was set in 2009, it was at Suzuka. And frankly, I expect that today's F1 cars are still worse on drag than those of 2008.
And 211-mph isn't much compared to 210-mph, and is still certainly shy of 215-216-mph, especially when the F1 cars NEEDED the DRS to get that last 8-10-mph, not to mention their extra 200-hp.
I have a few more speeds to add to the list. Last year, I was seeing 197-mph, with DRS, on the main straight at Korea, and around 183-mph without that aid. At Suzuka just last weekend, the McLarens were pulling 197-mph approaching 130R (no DRS), and Schumacher was getting 200-mph with DRS down the pit straight; unaided, I would expect the run from Spoon to 130R to be the faster of the two.
